The Electoral Commission will give New Zealanders voting in the November General Election the option to take their own lives rather than live in a country run by any of the possible governing coalitions, the chair of the Commission Sir Hugh Williams announced today.

‘It is the role of the Commission to be responsive to the voters of New Zealand’, Sir Hugh said in a press statement posted to the Commission’s web site. ‘After extensive debate and public consultation we have determined that what voters want most is to not be alive when the country is run by either a majority National, National and Maori Party, or Labour and New Zealand First government.’

Although details on the means of suicide are yet to be formalised, the Commissioner made an assurance that New Zealanders will have several options available to them. ‘In this, at least, they will have dignity and choice,’ he said.
